Redesign rank tiles and include information about multi-perk bonuses

[Revadike]

Proposed change

Take the information collecting in this reddit post and integrate it into DIM: https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/xxi2ze/thanks_to_this_weeks_twab_we_now_know_the_precise/

Some possible places you can do this:

• Tooltip on the number of vendor resets
• In the focussed decoding dialog
• In the weapon perk section of ritual weapons
• Tooltip on the number of held vendor engrams
• This place

How does this fit into your workflow?

This way I don't have to keep this page bookmarked anymore :) I also expect quite some people not being aware of this information, and they can learn that decoding engrams is better after waiting for some vendor resets to happen.

An extension to this is showing the percentage chance of getting a set of preferred weapon perks.

I think this could be handy (I had no idea that resets boosted your chance of perks in each column until recently).

Showing this info on the progress screen makes the most sense to me, but the challenge would be adding more numbers to an already number-dense UI.

At the risk of flying off piste - IMO vendor progress could be summarised and categorised more intuitively…

Concept:

• Typographically emphasise the activity + vendor rank
  • I find the rank title e.g. "mythic" to be meaningless everywhere except Competitive
• Show gained/target rep for individual rank + vendor reset in a consistent way
  • IMO explicit rep units are more useful as you're more likely to have a rough idea of rep gains per activity than as a %
• Use linear progress graphs instead of donuts
  • Makes it much easier to differentiate progress on individual rank and vendor reset at a glance
• (Could be overkill?) Super-impose the individual rank progress over the vendor progress to provide a visualisation of the long term grind
  • Early ranks will end up being 1px wide for vendor progress but this just helps visualise the scale of the grind
• Perk pool benefits can be kept close to the vendor reset info (since this is what they're determined by) and could be shown in a visually distinct way
  • Showing these upfront (rather than in a tooltip) gives you a reason why the resets are worth it
• Tooltips can show the detail i.e. percentage figures and explain the perk pool chance increase
  • I'm not sure if the character quotes can be removed since they also seem mostly useless?

Personally, I love the actual percentage in text form. Progress bars are hard to track visually, but a number allows you to easily see how much actual progress you made. Perhaps we can work with tooltips, hide the details in there? I see you suggested the other way around, but I think this way makes more sense.

I really like the idea of redesigning these, and the mockup you have. Agreed that I'd still like to see a percentage, but otherwise it looks great.

Some options for units/styling

Rep + % reset seems like a good balance, with top-middle/top-right in terms of styling

I do think it helps to show the rep required for your current rank since it can differ quite wildy from rank to rank:
